Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Early this mornin'
When you knocked upon my door
Early this mornin', ooh
When you knocked upon my door
And I said, "Hello, Satan
I believe it's time to go."
[Verse 2]
Me and the Devil
Was walkin' side by side
Me and the Devil, ooh
Was walkin' side by side
I'm goin' to beat my woman
Until I get satisfied
[Verse 3]
She say you don't see why
That I will dog her 'round
Now, babe, you know you ain't doin' me right
You know, don'cha
She say you don't see why, ooh
That I be dog her 'round
It must-a be that old evil spirit
So deep down in the ground
[Verse 4]
You may bury my body
Down by the highway side
Baby, I don't care where you bury my
Body when I'm dead and gone
You may bury my body, ooh
Down by the highway side
So my old evil spirit
Can get a Greyhound bus and ride
